First, notice where carbon is fixed by the enzyme Rubisco. In C-3, C-4, and CAM plants, CO 2 enters the cycle by joining with 5-carbon ribulose bisphosphate to form a 6-carbon intermediate, which splits (so quickly that it isn’t even shown) into two 3-carbon 3-phosphoglycerate molecules. Now look for the points at whic...

Pane can make a handcrafted drum in 4 weeks. Zane can make a similar handcrafted drum in 6 weeks. If they both work together, how many weeks will it take for them to produce 15 handcrafted drums?
[ "80", "150", "70", "36" ]
D
Method I: the rates solution “Pane can make a handcrafted drum in 4 weeks. Zane can make a similar handcrafted drum in 6 weeks.” Pane’s rate is (1 drum)/(4 weeks) = 1/4. Zane’s rate is (1 drum)/(6 weeks) = 1/6. The combined rate of Pane + Zane is R = 1/4 + 1/6 = 3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12 That’s the combined rate. We need to m...

[ "87", "38", "127", "16" ]
D
Let the time in which he travelled on foot = x hr Then the time in which he travelled on bicycle = (9 - x) hr distance = speed x time ⇒4x+9(9−x)=61⇒4x+81−9x=61⇒5x=20⇒x=4⇒ distance travelled on foot = 4x=4×4=16 km Answer : C

A trader wants 10% profit on the selling price of a product whereas his expenses amount to 15% on sales. What should be his rate of mark up on an article costing 9?
[ "100⁄3%", "20%", "30%", "None of these" ]
A
Let the SP of the article be x Expenses = 15% of x = 0.15x Profit = 10% of x = 0.10x CP = 9 (given) Therefore, 9 + 0.15x + 0.1x = x ⇒ x = 12 ∴ % increase for marked price = 12−9/9×100=100/3% Answer D
